Bent On Profit - Choke

stagnant lives 
all kept in place 
by those who say 
9-5 makes them stronger 
they say the same shit everyday 
they don't even know their names 
forgotten in false promises of reaching so much more 
silent cries 
drowned inside 
conditional minds 
bent on profits of the day 
seems all will has been erased 
by the rules they will not break 
they're taught to expect an empty life 
can you blame them 
blinders blocking out all other direction 
their shattered dreams are kept in place 
by the certainty the routine keep always makes them 
follow through with full intent on keeping up 
with those ahead 
trade their lives for endless races 
awaiting the time their oppression will end
